Answer: 3/7 is the pocket money he spends on sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount student spends be x

He spends 17/35x on transport and fruits

He spends 5/6 (x - 17/35x) on sweets

5/6 * (x -17/35x)

5/6 * 18/35x

= 3/7x

A seagull flying in the air over water drops a crab from a height of 45 feet.The distance the crab is from the water as it falls
jonny [76]
For the seagull to catch the crab, h(t)=g(t) so:

-16t^2+45=-13t+23  add 16t^2 to both sides

45=16t^2-13t+23  subtract 45 from both sides

16t^2-13t-22=0  using the quadratic equation:

t=(13±√1577)/32, since t>0

t=(13+√1577)/32 seconds

t≈1.65 seconds (to nearest hundredth of a second)

And the height that this occurs using either original equation is:

h((13+√1577)/32)≈1.59 ft (to nearest hundredth of a foot)

2/5

Since 12 out of 30 marbles were black, you can assume that the percentage of black marbles in the bag is 40% (Ex: 12/30=.4) The probability that the marble you pick is black is equal to the percentage of black marbles in the bag. 40% is equal to 2/5.
